Taxes went up very little last year. The town's budget was level-funded and the school's budget was BELOW the previous year's budget. I'd wager both groups are going to try to do the same; it sure would beat being in a default budget. The bond on the high school is almost paid off, too.
My assessment went up just a little bit - less than $2,000. Not a biggie.
